"With" and "Which" order

Please guide me.
Can I change the which and with order in the first sentence like the second sentence?
If yes, then could you please tell me which one is better?

1) That is a decision which you must live with for the rest of your life.
2) That is a decision, with which you must live for the rest of your life.

I would also say that both sentences were correct without the comma. However, I would normally use the second one, but I think that's just because I'm Portuguese, and the Portuguese grammar rules would force me to use somethi
